Agent Orange afflicted man faces gloomy future
  • By Pham Oanh | dtinews.vn | August 08, 2018 08:14 PM
A poor elderly widow in Nam Dinh Province is in desperate need of financial help to support her son who is suffering from the effects of Agent Orange.

85-year-old Le Thi Hoa still has to feed her son, Do van Sang, as his limbs are deformed and can't do anything on his own. He also can't speak but can still recognise acquaintances. Whenever he wants to shake hands or say thank you, he will slightly lower his head.

  

Le Thi Hoa and her son Do Van Sang


"He's 36. I have three children. My eldest daughter died in 1984 because of heart disease. My second child, Do Thi Minh, died in 1985. Minh also suffered from Agent Orange. My husband participated in both Indochina War and American War before dying in 2002," Hoa said.




One of Hoa's eyes is nearly blind and her deteriorating house has nothing valuable. They are being given a monthly allowance of VND1m but it's not enough to buy medicines for Sang. Their meals mostly consist of vegetables and tofu or eggs.


Hoa needs cataract surgery but she can't leave Sang alone or knows where to find the money.

"Who'll take care of him when I die? He'll die too if he is left alone," Hoa said.
